The Dalai Lama's upcoming public April appearances at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center quickly sold out and the public demand has been so overwhelming that his Holiness' talks have been moved to the War Memorial Stadium in Kahului. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. today.

You can purchase tickets at http://www.mauiarts.org; at the MACC box office windows; or at the box office at (808) 242-SHOW. (Box office hours 10 a.m.–6 p.m.)

People who already hold tickets for the April 25 lecture will not need to do anything: those tickets will be honored at the stadium gates and do not need to be exchanged, although all ticketholders are asked to pick up their Will Call tickets at the MACC box office as soon as possible, and well before the event date, to help alleviate long lines.
